Some Grains of Clarity

I can remember taking a trip to the ocean when I was in my 20's.
As I stood on the beach at the water's edge looking out at the vastness of the water before me,
I remember feeling how insignificant I was at that moment...
Comparing myself and others to one grain of an infinite number of grains of sand on a endless beach.
Now that I am in my 40's looking back
I realize that
I AM the water,
I AM the others,
I AM each individual grain,
I AM all of the beach, and
I AM infinity.
Now thats significant!
What a difference maturity makes in one's perception...
